Olga and Özgür's Turkish-Russian courtyard kitchen, two grandmothers' recipes met in a stone garden under pomegranate and lemon
Babushka, Russian for grandmother, is the small Cumhuriyet Caddesi salon Olga and Özgür opened to bring two family kitchens to the same table. Olga cooks: a long mezze line of beet-and-goat-cheese, eggplant, kabak çiçeği with curry filling, draniki and pelmeni alongside Aegean otlu yumurta, and a milk-pudding programme whose sakız tatlısı is the house signature. The garden is small, shaded by pomegranate and lemon, and stays peaceful in a village that often forgets how. Reservation only, year-round, no buffet, no theatre, just two recipe books and a careful hand.
Ask Olga for the sakız tatlısı and the draniki on the same order; both are ready in the back kitchen. The pomegranate-side tables are the quietest, request them when you book.
